Batman is a veteran vigilante, who's been active for five years when Superman appears. He's much more brutal than other versions, particularly because of

. He believes Superman represents a threat and that's the driving force of their conflict.

Wonder Woman is an ambassador of Themyscira in Men's World. Not much is revealed about her in "Dawn of Justice", other than she has come to find Superman and her mission is to protect the humans.

Aquaman is the ruler of Atlantis. Not much is revealed about in "Dawn of Justice" either. He's half-human, half-Atlantean, and is sworn to protect the surface despite the objections of his subjects.

The Flash is Barry Allen, and the accident that created him is connected to the World Engine, which is the source of several problems and abilities throughout the movies.

Cyborg is created by LexCorp as part of a robotics program that also includes Lex Luthor and Metallo, which has more sinister purposes than it appears. He becomes a pivotal character for the team-up because of a certain ability he has. As expect, he'll be the dramatic crux, because of "MUH HUMANITY".

Goyer was approached to be the Kevin Feige of this new cinematic universe at first, but "Man of Steel" got WB re-evaluating their plans. His first draft for "Batman v Superman" felt too constricting, it didn't allow for broader, more fantastical elements that the studio did want to tackle. So they brought in Terrio at Ben Affleck's behest, and reworked their plan to maintain the grit, without losing the wit.
